Lesson 9 - Title: A Man After God's Own Heart

1. Compare how Saul was introduced (1 Samuel 9:3-6) versus how David was introduced (1 Samuel 16:11), what is important about this comparison?
2. In the case of Saul's evil spirit, how did the Lord bring ultimate good out of this affliction? In what sense are the evils you experience sent by the Lord, and in what sense is He not responsible for your afflictions? (For this question Read the Study Skill on page 100 of the Study Guide)
3. How is your heart different from your outward appearance? In your experience, have you misjudged someone based on there appearance?
4. How has the Phillistines' attitude toward Israel and its God changed since 4:7-9?
